Here in CA they use cinder instead of salt on snowy roads. My '90 Accord has 317,000 miles. The original parts of the exhaust system still have only a little surface rust, and a 10-year-old crease in the rear decklid also has only a bit of surface rust. Cars near the coast are a bit worse, but I've never seen the kind of rust-through I've seen back east.
